|---|---|---|---|
| IFN-γ | IL-4 | IL-10 | |
| PBS | 52.07 ± 8.23 | 36.36 ± 5.25 | 36 ± 4.98 |

| α-GalCer | 343.6 ± 50.88* | 75.46 ± 5.7* | 37.56 ± 3.66 |
| pEGFP-C1-SAG5D | 573.43 ± 60.2* | 36.65 ± 3.52 | 40.77 ± 5.66 |

aSplenocytes from 4 mice per group two weeks after the final immunization. bValues for IFN-γ at 96 hr, IL-4 at 24 hr, IL-10 at 72 hr are expressed as mean ± SD. *Compared with PBS or pEGFP-C1 group, P < 0.05; #compared with pEGFP-C1-SAG5D or α-GalCer, P < 0.05.
